Kit Movie-Star     #214163

  Which of us hasn’t ever fancied having a look “over the hedge”,

taking a picture of our mates at the fl ying fi eld from the bird’s eye

view, or even recording a video sequence or two?

It’s all possible with the MovieStar.

The MovieStar is an optimised aerial photography platform, suitable

for use both for still pictures and video. Today’s digital photo

technology provides us with affordable lightweight devices which

are ideal for taking photographs from the air. Fit a motor-driven

camera, and you can take several pictures without having to land

between shots. Even a live transmission from the model is now

possible at quite reasonable expense.

However, for initial experiments it is even cheaper to use a disposable

small-format camera; these are available for as little as about 7 Euro.

• Pre-fabricated components moulded in tough Elapor foam

• Direct-drive power system with two 400 motors (pre-wired, included), optional low-cost conversion to 400L geared motors

• Slow, docile, stall-proof and inherently stable: ideal for aerial photography

• Excellent for initial training and “Everyman” fl ying events (with a “photo” element!)

• Capable of ground take-off and hand-launching Designed for two directions of shooting:

• To the side, through the “door opening”

• Downward, through the open fuselage floor
